KBR, Jakarta - Minister of Home Affairs Tjahjo Kumolo stated there is no reason for the Kuningan District Government of West Java to withhold the distribution of electronic ID (e-ID) for thousands of Ahmadiyah Manislor congregation, as long as people are willing to fill the religious column with one of the six official religions.

Tjahjo said a community's faith organizations can not be used as a basis by Pemkab to hold someone's e-ID card.

"I only hold the rules, the legal e-ID card must be filled with legal religion, I have religion, it must be written as a religion.The government has a policy line, do not want it to be pushed [unduly]," said Tjahjo in the Ministry of Defense on Wednesday (26/7/2017).
